| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait of Honoré V, Prince of Monaco, facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed wavy hair. The engraver's signature E. ROGAT. appears in small capitals beneath the truncation of the neck. A continuous border of raised beads frames the design along the inner rim. The circumferential legend reads HONORE V PRINCE DE MONACO, distributed around the field. The overall style reflects the refined Romantic-era portraiture characteristic of French medallic art of the 1830s. |
